2. Icyleads - It’s better than Hunter as it’s heavily focused on the sales and prospecting to help you derive great results from your campaigns.
3. Mailshake - Beginner Friend Cold Email Tool with Great features like email list warming.

#Communication Tools

1. Twilio - One do the best customer engagement platform used by Companies like Stripe and mine too.

3. Intercom - Used by Most Marketers, Industry Leading customer communication platform. Great for beginners!
4. Chatwoot - Another Amazing Communication Tool but the best part is they have a great free plan useful for new businesses.
5. Loom - Communicate with your audience through Videos. Loom is great for SaaS and to show human interaction to close new visitors effectively.

2. Hubspot - I don’t think this tool needs an introduction because Hubspot’s CRM is the best in industry.
3. Salesflare - This CRM is a great alternative to hubspot as it’s beginner friendly and helpful for SMBs.

#SEO Tools

1. Ahrefs - One of the best SEO tool in the industry. They also just launched a bunch of free tools to help SEO beginners.

5. SEOquake & Semrush - SEOquake is a great tool to conduct on-page analysis, SERP, and much more. Great tool but it’s owned by Semrush. You should go for Semrush because that tool will cover all SEO aspects for you.

#Content Marketing

1. Buzzsumo - This tool is great for content research and but you may find the regular emails pretty annoying sometimes.
2. Contentrow - Analyse Your Content and find it’s strength. Highly recommended who are weak at content structuring like me.
3. Grammarly - If you are not a native English speaker like me, you might think you need it or not. You need it for sure for grammar corrections.

#Graphic Design Tools

1. Visme - At agencies, Infographics can be more effective than usual postscript. Visme is a graphic design tool focused on infographics and designs related to B2B and B2C. It’s great for agencies!
2. Glorify - A Graphic Design Tool focused on E-commerce, filled with Designs useful for E-commerce store owners.
3. Canva - All-in-one Industry leading Graphic Design Tool that everyone knows and every template is overused now.
4. Adobe Creative Cloud ( previously Sparkpost) - It’s a great alternative to Canva filled with Amazing Stock images to use in your visuals but the only backlash is the exports in this tool are not high quality.

1. Plai - It’s a great PPC tool to create Ads for Instagram and Tiktok.
2. Wordstream - It’s an industry leading PPC Tool, great for Ad Grading and auditing.

#Video Editing Tools

1. Veed Studio - I have been using Veed from last year. It’s one of the best Video Marketing Tool Optimized for Instagram & Tiktok.
2. Synthesia - It’s a new AI video generation platform. From last few months, if you have seen marketing agencies including Videos in Emails. The chances are that’s not a Agency member taking but AI generated Human.
3. Motionbox - It’s also a great video editing tool focused on video editing for Digital Marketers.
4. Jitter Video - It’s a great motion design tool. Comes with great templates, the only place where other tools I mentioned lacks. It’s great and beginner friendly.

#Copywriting

1. Jasper AI - Google’s John Mueller says AI generated content is banned on Search but I think with Jasper AI you can generate SEO optimised Content but you have to put in some efforts like at least give 30 minutes for editing the Copy by yourself.
2. Copy AI - Another AI tool to help you write better copy. This one is more focused on helping you write copy suitable for Ads and Social media campaigns.
3. Hemingway App - To help you write more clearly and Bold. This tool is better than Grammarly if you look for writing perspective and it’s free.

3. Later - Heavily Focused on Instagram from beginning and Now Tiktok too.
4. SkedSocial - It’s like a Later alternative with great addition features like link-in-bio.
